US EditionMeadows suffers legal setback in effort to pause possible Georgia conviction
- Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' request for an emergency stay of a ruling in his Georgia election interference case was denied by a federal judge. The judge ruled that Meadows had not shown he is entitled to an emergency stay, putting him at risk of being convicted in state court while he continues to fight for his case to be moved to federal court.
- Meadows is appealing the ruling to the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals, a conservative-leaning federal court. He is arguing that the charges against him should be moved to federal court, where he can seek dismissal under a federal immunity that is extended to defendants facing court proceedings for their actions as federal officers.
- The appeals court is also considering whether the relevant statutory provision applies to former federal officials or only current ones. The Fulton County District Attorney argues that the provision does not apply to former officials, while Meadows maintains that it does.
